Why is rehabilitative veterinary science important?

Some of the reasons why animals end up being cared by rehabilitators is if they are injured in the wild or become infected with an illness. Many of these animals would not be able to live without the aid of these veterinarians.

Rehabilitative veterinary science is important because wild animals get sick too and often because of us and just because it gets sick does not mean it needs to become captive. If every animal that got hurt became captive there would be no wild animals. It's all about keeping balance in the wild and catch, fix, release is a good method.
